The Linux Clinic meets once a month on the third Sunday from 1 - 5 pm at Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, 97214.
Bring your Linux computer that is being a brat and we'll teach it some manners. Or bring your computer that has some evil operating system on it and we'll send it home with a shiny, clean Linux distro. Or just come and look over shoulders to see what Linux is all about.
If you already know Linux well, the Clinic is also a good place to learn how to help users troubleshoot problems. It's excellent training for tech support work in Linux.
We have monitors, mice, keyboards, and miscellanous other perifpherals, so generally all you need to bring is the box.
There will also be coffee and people usually bring munchies as well. After all, you can't do computers on an empty tummy.

AgilePDX Downtown Pub Lunch: Patterns & Anti-Patterns of Adopting ALM tools
Roll back
| description |

Each year the Downtown Pub Lunchers talk about what's new and cool in agile life cycle management tools. On April 4th, instead of doing a free-for-all about the newest tools, we're going to be talking about the craziness and the goodness that can about from adopting a tool to track what's going on with agile teams. Sometimes even talking about adopting a tool can bring these patterns and anti-patterns up.
We mean to say: why bother with a tool? And when we need to bother, how can we best adopt a tool without hurting ourselves--and our quest for agility?
We start at 12p and end at 1p. Strive to be on time: we do. RSVP's appreciated but not required. You'll find us in the back room.
See you there! |

<h3>About the speakers</h3>
<b>Don Reinertsen</b>
Don is the author of three best-selling books on product development. For 30 years he has focused on creating fundamental changes in the way organizations develop products. Before starting his own firm, he had extensive management consulting experience at McKinsey and taught executive courses at California Institute of Technology. His books, Developing Products in Half the Time and The Principles of Product Development Flow are product development classics that helped drive the application of just-in-time and other Lean principles within the domain of product development.
<b>David Snowden</b>
David is a researcher and thought leader in the field of knowledge management. He is the founder and chief scientific officer of Cognitive Edge, a research network focusing on complexity theory in sense making. He is an authority on the application of complexity theory to organizations, tacit knowledge, and an observer of the way knowledge is used in organizations. Snowden developed the Cynefin framework, a leader’s guide for decision making and a practical application of complexity theory to management science. Here is a short video that highlights his approach.
<b>April Mills</b>
April leads a guiding coalition for change at the U.S. Navy Naval Shipyard in Puget Sound based on Dr. John Kotter’s Leading Change 8-step model.

April has struggled with and fought against the inertia and bureaucracy of large entrenched organizations and has practical advice for change agents based on the lessons she has learned.
<b>David Hussman</b>
David teaches and coaches agility in companies of all sizes all over the world. For more than 10 years, David has evolved the successful adoption of agile methods in medical, retail, legal, education, health care, control systems, digital audio, financial and more.

SQAUG Presents:
Building Automation on Business Concepts
–
Michael Cowan, SQE Viewpoint Construction SW
Topic: Building Automation on Business Concepts - A Real World Example
Come participate in an open discussion of advanced automation concepts using
real world examples from Viewpoints massive ERP Solution. There will be an
initial presentation on key concepts, followed by a code review
of real tests and
ending in an open discussion of how these concepts can be applied to your work
The presentation will focus on how Viewpoint has structured its automation
framework to focus on common business concepts and not a single technology.
We wi
ll show you how a single test can be written so it runs against a WinForm
UI, Web UI, REST API or even directly against a database.
This framework was implemented in C# (but I have implemented Java and Scala
versions at past companies) and was executing
test cases in less than 30 days.
Everything we discuss will be targeted at how to get something viable up and
running in less than 30 days
About Our Speaker: Michael Cowan
has over 20 years’ experience in the
software industry, and has held individual and management roles in both QA and
Development. His passions have always been automation, and he has been a lead
engineer on several successf
ul automation frameworks
Agenda:
5:30-6:00 PM: Pizza and Networking
6:00-6:15PM: SQAUG Announcements
6:15-7:30PM: Michael Cowan will discuss automating business concepts, and any questions you’ve sent.
Details:
. Event is Free to the public
· On site parking (directions below)
· Light Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served
· No RSVP is required to attend
SQAUG
is Portland/Vancouver area’s only Software Quality Assurance User Group! We are BRAND NEW,
and would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who would like to participate in a user group
dedicated to growing the Quality Assurance field.
SQAUG
is made up of a group of SQA professionals who have banded together in an open forum to

Learning to code can be a daunting journey, and everyone seems to have a different approach. For our first meeting we'll discuss the various methods that have worked in the past for learning. We'll share resources, tips, and experiences and have an open discussion about tech education.
This meeting is not an intro to programming, but instead a discussion surrounding methods of learning from a variety of backgrounds.
Panel:
-Tracy Abrahms, engineer @ Urban Airship
-Carl Hall, engineer @ Cloudability

We are working to create a space for a new culture of makers/breakers/fixers and benders in Portland, Oregon. A space filled with people and tools that can help you navigate both the technical and emotional hurdles of finishing your dream projects while also being friendly and non-threatening.
We recognize that the technology world is often a binder full of testosterone, and are working to make technology inclusive for people of all backgrounds and genders. We do our best to maintain an explicitly intersectional feminist space that welcomes members and guests of all genders, racial and cultural backgrounds, and levels of ability.
We must make our space safe so we can be dangerous together! |

March Entretherapy

**Entretherapy is Donation based and you must grab a ticket from our event page.**
Crowd-sourced solutions to your most pressing startup problems, in one handy place!
Entretherapy is a startup event for entrepreneurs (tech & non-tech) to gather and share whatever is most pressing. Basically, we’re creating a safe place for entrepreneurs in Portland to get HELP! (This isn’t therapy and we aren’t therapists, so keep your nutty childhood at home.)
**Here is how it works…**
Each entrepreneur who attends will get an equal amount of time to talk.
The first half of that time will be used to share a hurdle you’re facing in business.
The second half is opened up to the group to offer up solutions.
Attendees will receive an event recap so you won’t have to worry about taking notes (unless you want).
Oh… and we’ll eat some delicious cake!
Come prepared with a problem you want to be solved, because it’s going to happen.
If not that night, some time over the next month we’ll offer up a solid cure for what ails ya! |

Teaching Kids Programming Java - for children ages 11-18 & parents
Roll back
| description |
COME LEARN TO PROGRAM JAVA...
The most popular & scalable computer language in use today and the language used on the AP Computer Science Exam. This session is hands-on, it is designed for immediate feedback throughout the course, allowing for students to have fun creating with Java and removing much of the frustration normally associated with
computers. See how rewarding & accessible programming can be. Students will learn clean coding techniques and proper use of advanced tools
Ages: 11-18
Requirements: Please bring a laptop setup with code & eclipse from the "more information" link below. Note: we will be pairing durning the event, so kids will share laptops. This means we might not use your actual laptop and that if you don't have a laptop you can still join and participate.
Adults: Every child must be accompanied by an adult. Adults are welcome to particpate as well, although we ask you to pair with other adults instead of with your kids.
On Wed 19 March there will be a more adult focused session on the techniques:

About the speakers...
Lynn Langit - Big Data Architect and Educator. Former FTE at MSFT (4 years). Awards – SQL Server MVP, Google Cloud Developer Expert, MongoDB Master. Lynn has done production work with SQL Server, MongoDB, AWS and Google databases and more. Lynn has over 150 BigData screencasts on her YouTube channel (SoCalDevGal). In addition to her work with Big Data, she is also the co-founder of a non-profit, ‘Teaching Kids Programming.’
Llewellyn Falco learned to jump horses in the 7th grade while living in France. Back in states, while studying drafting in high school, he started fire eating, sleight of hand magic, and once rode a unicycle 6 miles. After learning to juggle torches, he joined a acrobatics group in college where he specialized on the trampoline and walking a slack rope. He can calculate the cube root of any perfect cube under 1,000,000 in his head, as well as pick a standard lock. He can rollerblade down a flight of stairs, backwards. Later, he has learned to play the doumbek (a type of drum), to accompaniment a belly dancing girlfriend. Llewellyn studied Tai Chi for 2 years, can throw a knife at 20 feet, and a playing card at 50. He has taught swing dancing, and loves to salsa. He is also an accomplished speed chess player. In the last year, he has been scuba diving over 20 times, become a guitar hero, and broke his personal record of paddle balling over 200 times. Llewellyn attributes his success to the large amount of caffeine he has consumed, and enjoys computer programming in his spare time.

"No talks. One paper per month, no obligation to read it."
This month's paper is [Palette Power: Enabling Visual Search through Colors](http://labs.ebay.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PalettePowerKDD2013.pdf) by Bhardwaj et al. Read it or don't - the goal is just to have something to start conversations. "Did you read the paper?" will do nicely.
Mention @PDXBigData on Twitter with the link to the full paper to suggest papers for future sessions. |

In this workshop, attendees will experience our Intentional Method of introducing children (ages 10+) to programming (in java) using recipes . We use Agile techniques such as pair programming, randoris, short iterations, re-factoring & test-driven development in teaching. Pair instructors model Agile practices while teaching. Learn how to teach technical processes using Agile techniques. Although we’ve mostly used our method with children, we have also successfully taught adults using similar methodologies.
Note: There will be hands-on sections of this presentation. While not everyone will need a laptop, please bring one if you can, and set it up with the courseware & eclipse from our github account

COME LEARN TO PROGRAM JAVA...
The most popular & scalable computer language in use today and the language used on the AP Computer Science Exam. This session is hands-on, it is designed for immediate feedback throughout the course, allowing for students to have fun creating with Java and removing much of the frustration normally associated with
computers. See how rewarding & accessible programming can be. Students will learn clean coding techniques and proper use of advanced tools
Ages: 11-18
Requirements: Please bring a laptop setup with code & eclipse from the "more information" link below. Note: we will be pairing durning the event, so kids will share laptops. This means we might not use your actual laptop and that if you don't have a laptop you can still join and participate.
Adults: Every child must be accompanied by an adult. Adults are welcome to particpate as well, although we ask you to pair with other adults instead of with your kids.
On Wed 19 March there will be an adults only session on the techniques:

Lynn Langit - Big Data Architect and Educator. Former FTE at MSFT (4 years). Awards – SQL Server MVP, Google Cloud Developer Expert, MongoDB Master. Lynn has done production work with SQL Server, MongoDB, AWS and Google databases and more. Lynn has over 150 BigData screencasts on her YouTube channel (SoCalDevGal).

Llewellyn Falco learned to jump horses in the 7th grade while living in France. Back in states, while studying drafting in high school, he started fire eating, sleight of hand magic, and once rode a unicycle 6 miles. After learning to juggle torches, he joined a acrobatics group in college where he specialized on the trampoline and walking a slack rope. He can calculate the cube root of any perfect cube under 1,000,000 in his head, as well as pick a standard lock. He can rollerblade down a flight of stairs, backwards. Later, he has learned to play the doumbek (a type of drum), to accompaniment a belly dancing girlfriend. Llewellyn studied Tai Chi for 2 years, can throw a knife at 20 feet, and a playing card at 50. He has taught swing dancing, and loves to salsa. He is also an accomplished speed chess player. In the last year, he has been scuba diving over 20 times, become a guitar hero, and broke his personal record of paddle balling over 200 times. Llewellyn attributes his success to the large amount of caffeine he has consumed, and enjoys computer programming in his spare time.

Portland 3D Printing Lab
Roll back

In February 60 Layer Geeks got to see how real Oregon companies team up to create business opportunities using 3D printing. We kicked off with a high-level overview of what 3D printing is and how it's used. Then, we took a look at updates in the industry and talked about how we, as a community, can work together. Next, Rigado Systems, makers of Lumenplay, showed us how 3D printed parts allows them to be responsive to their customers' needs. RapidMade showed us the kinds of products they can make in short order and gave us advice on how to prepare your products to be printed. Lastly, ProtoPasta told us the story of their Kickstarter for desktop 3D printer filament, made with polycarb and carbon fiber.
In March, we'll take a look at the tools, including an in-depth look at 3D scanning and 3d printed prosthetic hands!
Agenda follows:
0600p : 3D printing for Beginners
0630p : Networking over light food/beverages
0730p : Intro
0710p : Show your projects OR
Community Q&A - Shout out a question, get it answered
0750p : Sklyr @ 3Digitize.us talks about the state of the art in 3D scanning, with a LIVE demo!
0810p : Ivan Owen tells us the story of creating prosthetic hands and joining the e.Nable project!
0810p : More Networking!
Note 1: We also had a LARGE number of printers (including a delta!) represented at our Feb meetup. If you'd like to bring a printer, please contact the group organizer, so we can set aside table space.
Note 2: If you have a project or business you'd like to talk about, please contact the group organizer by private message. We're looking for 15-20 minute presentations. Slides aren't necessary, but we have access to a projector and plenty of table space. Good examples would be demonstrations of a new technique/tool, an overview of a service you provide, a unique project you've modeled/printed, etc. If you know a great speaker, please refer them!
Please share this with your network and bring your imagination and enthusiasm. We'd particularly like to get people from bigger corps that are using a lot of 3D printing in their design process (looking at you Nike and Intel :) |
